The first tidal turbine deployed in the Pacific Northwest at PNNL-Sequim showcases the Lab’s growing role as a regional center for marine energy research.
The nation is closer to its offshore wind energy goals than ever before, but better wind forecasting is still needed. To address this challenge, PNNL and collaborators are charting a new course with help from novel technology.
The diversity and function of organic matter in rivers at a large scale are influenced by factors, such as the types of vegetation covering the land, the energy characteristics, and the breakdown potential of the molecules.
A research buoy managed by PNNL has been deployed in Hawai’ian waters, collecting oceanographic and meteorological measurements off the coast of O’ahu.
A multi-institutional team of wind energy experts led by PNNL assessed the scientific grand challenges for offshore wind and provided recommendations for closing gaps in models.
A Triton Story highlights the Triton Initiative's holistic marine energy environmental monitoring research, including considerations for energy sustainability and life cycle assessment next steps.
The Triton Initative discusses special issue publications from the Triton Field Trials on environmental monitoring recommendations for marine energy applications.
ICON science is a Department of Energy-developed framework to enhance scientific outcomes via more intentional design of research efforts across all domains of science.
This Triton Story discusses the many types of marine energy devices and the Triton Field Trials environmental monitoring research around wave, tidal, and riverine energy devices.
The Triton Initiative highlights different creative science communications, including photography, writing, and science art, and the impact they have on the project's marine energy research.
